side bag tool bag suggestions please

I've been using a cheap craftsman bag I got for free at sears. After only about a year there are holes worn in the bottom, I assume from sliding around in my side bag. I don't mind buying a better bag but don't want it wearing out in a year. Maybe something leather? I keep the usual stuff in it, some sockets, ratchet, crescent wrench, allens, pliers, etc,

So, what are you guys using to hold your tools?

Here's what I use. Fills the space at the bottom of the saddlebags. http://www.storagepouches.com/#!__pr...stc1=products2

I have those as well. I bought them at a rally a few years ago, they still look like new. Very handy, and they fit an amazing amount of stuff and take up very little room.

I can still use my liner bags with them with no problems.

a towel in the bottom so It can;t slide around.

any tool roll will work.

BTW balance weight side to side.

I've been using the storage solutions pouches for years, they hold more than you need and take up almost no room. Highly recommend.

+1 ... The only drawback is remembering what tools you have on which side

I use a leather shaving bag, fits everything nicely and hasn't worn out yet. I also put small towels in the bottom of my saddlebags so things are flying around.

Thanks for all the replies. I think the Carhartt roll is what I'm going to go with. Hard to beat $27 with 2 day shipping.
